Welcome to Bethesda Friends Meeting
BFM's Social Concern for April is for Ramallah Friends School The Social Concerns Box for April is for scholarships to the Ramallah Friends School in the Palestinian West Bank. Most of our contributions are dependent on offerings made via check or online. This support is an opportunity for us to help build peace in the Middle East via this Quaker school that has been in existence since 1869 (more than 150 years).
